Popular Malayalam actress 🌸Swetha Menon recalls memories 𝐆of Big B, who turned 80 on Tuesday, and shared how as a 10- year-old, she proposed to Amitabh Bachchan.
Speaking to the media, the actress, who is now based in Mumbai, said that the incident happened in Allahabad in her child🔯hood.
"My father was an Air Force officer and one day, he told me that Rajiv Gandhi and Bachchan are coming to Allahabad to imm♛erse the ashes of Indira Gandhi. I said I want to meet Bachch🌌an and my father flatly refused," she said.
"When the occasion arrived🍨, I remember I had just got up and remembered that it was the day. We were staying in the Air Force area, and without even brushing my teeth, I ran out, and I reached the venue. There was absolute silence as the function was going on. I reached Bachchan and told him to please 'marry me as I am in love with you'."
"Then I looked at my father, he was fuming, and in a moment, another officer came💖 and, in a flash, took me away," said 🐬Menon.
She goes on to add that years passed, and after she💞 won a Miss India contest in 1994, according to the convention, the winner return🍌s the following year to hand pass it to the next winner.
"The event happened in Mumbai. The stai🙈rs leading to the stage were very steepꦓ. As I was standing, I realized it was Bachchan who was standing next to me and seeing him, I went into a trance, and in the process, I fell down. He came and helped me rise, and that was a huge moment for me," said Menon laughing as she was explaining her awe for Big B.
Menon has worked in various industries, including Bollywood and is presently an office bearer of the Associ⛄ation of Malayalam Movie Artistes.
